I can remember the Dutch Mama saying to me proudly that all her children had finished with bottles before they could ask for them. This came back to me vividly yesterday when Daniel wandered into the kitchen with his bottle in his hand and said “cold” and pointed at the microwave hopefully. I appear not to be meeting my target of having them weaned off bottles before they can ask for them to be heated up.
In completely unrelated news, I quite liked this.
NaBloPoMo – Y is not a good letter. But, Ms. Kennedy, if you’re watching, I’m still posting.
That made me smile!
Our 4-year old is still on bottles (as is the 2-year-old), but they probably saved his life this summer when he was hospitalised for a month and wouldn’t/couldn’t eat or drink anything else. The middle child of friends of ours still took a bottle at 7 – didn’t seem to do her any harm.
Whatever works, Waffley my dear.
I love the video. It even made me affectionate for a roundabout – usually the only emotion I feel near them is paralyzing fear.
Oh God. I see your bottle and raise you a dinner. When the Wee One was little, when the microwave would beep she’d sing out, ‘Dinner’s ready, mama!’
Embarrassing.
And for the record, yes, I cook, and NO i’m not defensive about it.
That video made the evening news in Italy this evening. I guess they’re finally getting as tired of politics as I am.
